Chapter 2: After rebirth, I will beat up the scumbag first
"Sister-in-law! You're awake!"
Zhang Guodong's haggard eyes and eyebrows were streaked with scarlet bloodshot, and his voice was so hoarse as if he was holding a bag of thick phlegm.
He pushed through the crowd and before he could take a step, Lin Wanqing had already rushed in front of him. She raised her hand to press down on his heavily gasping chest, gasping for breath, and just stared at her husband. The grievances and grudges of the previous life flashed before her eyes as quickly as a passing scene, and came to an end as Zhang Guodong stopped.
"Sister-in-law, don't listen to what your sister-in-law says. I'll still be in this family from now on..."
Zhang Guodong opened his mouth and only said half of his words when Lin Wanqing raised her hand and slapped him in the face.
"Pa!" A crisp sound was heard, and Zhang Guodong was slapped so hard that he staggered a few steps and finally sat down on the ground with an unstable body.
It was obvious how much strength Lin Wanqing used in this slap. Her fingers were numb and her whole hand was shaking. Lin Wanqing quickly stretched out her other hand to hold it down and took a deep breath.
The breath of anger that was pent up in my heart finally slowly dissipated.
Yang Aihua and Zhang Guodong were both stunned. Zhang Guodong covered his face with his hands, his expression of disbelief frozen for a long time, his eyes wide open, dazed.
Lin Wanqing thought that expression was really funny. She guessed that he probably didn't expect that the usually slow-paced, elegant and proper Lin Wanqing would hit someone.
"How could you hit someone?"
Yang Aihua's initial shock turned into anger. She rushed to Lin Wanqing and pointed at her, "Ever since Guodong's accident, has my Guoliang been in charge of everything?"
"You little darling, all you do is cry. After crying, you faint and can't do anything. Have you ever visited your mother-in-law in the hospital? Your son is being taken care of by my mother-in-law! From now on, this family will depend on me and my Guodong. Not only do you not know how to be grateful, but you also treat us like this!"
The finger was about to point under her nose, but Lin Wanqing raised her hand without saying a word and slapped the finger hard.
"Ah!" Yang Aihua was shocked. "Lin Wanqing, are you crazy?"
She was really going crazy and wanted to tear these two people apart with her own hands.
"Okay, just say less. Your sister-in-law has been upset, so we should be more tolerant." Zhang Guodong, with half of his face swollen, stood up to act as a good guy. While persuading Yang Aihua, he also smiled soothingly at Lin Wanqing.
"Your sister-in-law has been very busy these days and is very tired."
Lin Wanqing knew that these two people were acting, one playing the good guy and the other the bad guy, and everything they did was just to pave the way for what was to come.
Sure enough, Zhang Guodong changed the subject and got to the point.
"Sister-in-law, it's not that I covet your things, but life is so difficult now, and it's even more difficult to manage such a large family. I've discussed it with your sister-in-law, and I hope you can contribute to the living expenses."
"You are the only one left in the Lin family. It will be hard for you to take care of the children alone in the future. If we are all together, we can discuss things with you if you encounter any problems. I can also stand up for you, right?"
Their words were full of threats. The Lin family was gone, and she had no one to rely on. If she didn't curry favor with the Zhang family, she would be in dire straits. Especially in this era, with the country only a few years old and everything in ruins, social unrest, and the identity of a descendant of capitalists being particularly sensitive, they had threatened her in this way in her previous life, slowly plucking her money away.
Lin Wanqing lowered her eyes and chuckled, "You make it sound like I got a great deal."
"Then you still think you're at a disadvantage?" Yang Aihua glared at her. "Guoliang and I have to go to work to support our family and take care of you, a spoiled young lady. You do nothing but enjoy yourself at home. Now I'm asking you to pay for your living expenses, and you still have so many excuses."
"Capitalists are capitalists; they only know how to exploit the working people!"
It does seem so to outsiders, but in fact, since the death of "Zhang Guodong", Yang Aihua has developed a sense of strength that she has a man and a backer.
Before, she was just the daughter of the Lin family's groom. Seeing Lin Wanqing in trouble, she immediately turned into a serf and started to torture Lin Wanqing.
She was asked to wash clothes with cold water during the coldest days of winter, to weed the yard during the scorching summer, and to prepare meals for the family before dawn.
Lin Wanqing dared not speak out because of her background, and without a man to rely on, she felt even more inferior, so she had to please the Zhang family even more so that she could have a place to stay and raise her child.
It turned out she was totally wrong.
Lin Wanqing breathed a sigh of relief, calmed herself down, and said, "Sister-in-law, since you feel that work is so hard, why don't you stop working and let me do it while you enjoy yourself at home?"
"Besides, this class is originally mine, isn't it?"
Yang Aihua and Zhang Guodong looked at each other, obviously surprised that Lin Wanqing would mention work.
The factory where they worked had purchased its equipment thanks to the Lin family's connections, and the Lin family also donated money and materials, which enabled the successful construction of this military factory.
Both the factory and the state cadres remembered the Lin family's kindness and allowed him to make any requests he wanted.
However, Mr. Lin only made one request, hoping that the factory would always keep a position for his daughter, and that the leaders of the unit would always give their daughter certain preferential treatment and protection in recognition of the Lin family's dedication.
However, Yang Aihua took advantage of the situation and tricked Lin Wanqing into giving up the position to her.
Yang Aihua said seriously, "Wanqing, I'm the March 8th Red Flag Bearer in the factory! I've been met by the city leaders and personally commended. I'm a role model!"
"This job isn't for everyone!" She glanced at Lin Wanqing with a smug look, "Especially a delicate young lady like you, who's never suffered a bit of hardship. What can you possibly accomplish?"
"I'm a March 8th Red Flag Bearer, and Guoliang is an advanced worker. We're enough for you out there. How nice it would be for you to stay home and enjoy your life?"
Lin Wanqing had never earned a penny since she was born. How could she possibly work? She was just using the matter of work as a bargaining chip.
They didn't take Lin Wanqing's words seriously at all and just treated them as nonsense.
"So, you're occupying my job and not giving it to me, and you're also asking me to pay for the family support. I don't know who's taking advantage of you." Lin Wanqing curled her lips coldly.
